Beschreibung:
Dale Brown, geb. 1956 in Buffalo im US-Bundesstaat New York geboren und nahm bereits Flugstunden, bevor er seinen Führerschein machte. Er studierte an der Penn State University und schlug eine militärische Laufbahn als Captain in der U.S. Air Force ein. Heute lebt er in Nevada, wo er sich oft mit seiner eigenen Maschine in die Luft begibt.
With the death of his heroic father, bomber and space warfare veteran Patrick McLanahan, Bradley McLanahan must now fly solo, leading a team of young engineers designing Starfire, the world s first orbiting solar power plant. Starfire will not only deliver unlimited and inexpensive electricity anywhere on planet Earth, it can also transmit power to the moon, and even to spacecraft and asteroids. It s a crucial first step in the exploration of the solar system, and Bradley and his team are on the cutting edge. But US president Kenneth Phoenix s plans to militarize and industrialize Earth s orbit sparks an arms race in space that eclipses the darkest and most terrifying days of the Cold War. Before he can prevent it, Bradley and his team are caught at the center of a battle that threatens to become an all-out global conflict for control of space.
